Why we need more than sheep-dip training

Why we need more than sheep-dip training

Your managers have the certificates. They’ve sat through the workshops. They’ve completed the courses. And yet, the same problems keep showing up:

• Difficult conversations are avoided.

• Managers pick up the slack instead of holding people accountable.

Poor performance gets tolerated rather than tackled.

• Expectations stay vague, creating confusion and delays.

Why does this problem exist? Because your managers also need practical tools they can use

While they know they should hold people accountable, they are often struggling to do it well in the face of an array of different behaviours they need to navigate.

This issue is also expensive. Between 5-10% of your payroll often gets wasted because managers can't clearly communicate what they need, what good looks like, or hold people accountable when standards slip (think about it, could the average team be 5% more efficient?).

That's why we created this toolbox.
